The headline from HN: "Nuclear turn green" (why the typo?)

The actual headline: "Gas and Nuclear Turn Green as EU Parliament Approves New Taxonomy" (HN left out gas)

So gas is actually being considered "green" now, so calling it a "cleaner" fuel as you do is actually what they're doing.

Not really. Under the rules, it's possible for a gas turbine investment to fall under the clean energy rules, but there is a lot of small print.

Mostly, the gas turbine must be able to run on a clean fuel, and there must be actual plans for a switchover.

When I first read that gas turbines can fit under clean energy rules now, I was kind of angry, but I calmed down after I read the full rules.
